Cold Storage
In this work, the fridge, designed to suspend decay, is reimagined not only as a vitrine, but also as an archive: home to technological remains, each carrying its own distinct voice from the recent past. The clatter of typewriter keys composing letters taking days to arrive now silenced by the immediacy of email; cassette recorders, with their carefully curated recordings, precursors to today’s digital playlists; the mechanical click of a shutter, capturing portraits long before the ubiquity of the selfie. These once-bulky devices have been compressed into the discreet surface of the smartphone. In this 'frozen' archive, the iconic sounds of the analogue linger in quiet contrast to the sleek silence of the digital.
Photographed and printed at life size (600mm x 900mm) and originally shown with accompanying sound piece. Edition of 20.
